This is a great feature in Power Point 2010. I really like the fact that you can save to many different types of media. YouTube, websites and email are some of the different media types. This is good because it allows us to keep up with modern technology that we have become accustomed to.

@Chris Smith, sorry about that problem. Try downloading Silverlight 5 again, and see if that works. If it doesn't, write back and we can troubleshoot.

Thanks!

I'm looking forward to this feature, and was excited to find this page. But where I thought I'd find a video, just whitespace. So I tried 32-bit IE9, and at least got a black rectangle. a right click gives me the Silverlight pop up, but no playback controls.. Thoughts?

@Geoff Morris, apologies for the delay.

Let's try this: Use the Package for CD feature, but choose "Copy to Folder” rather than “Copy to CD”.

Then, burn the files created in this folder to a DVD. (This will create a data DVD, not a video DVD, but it sounds like this is exactly what you might want.)

Alternately, if you're using PowerPoint 2010, try exporting your presentations to video (.wmv), then use Movie Maker to create a DVD with those tracks.

Let me know how it goes!

Can anyone advise how Microsoft PowerPoint can “Package for DVD”?

I need to package my PPT presentation to DVD for my client who will be viewing this complex presentation on his laptop/PC.

Previously, I could do this simply by using the “Package to CD” option. And he was a very happy client.

But now, my presentation contains 10 separate PPT shows which are linked to a “Main Menu”.

This main menu comes up as the first show automatically, and waits for the user to mouse click any of the 10 buttons to run a show. Once that show finishes, it automatically reverts back to the “Main Menu”, waiting for the user to select another show.

3 of the PPT shows have embedded videos.

So now the total capacity of the entire presentation is 3.97Gb.

This won’t burn to a CD, so the “Package to CD” option will not work for me now.

What other options are open to me? I really would appreciate some help in solving this. Perhaps others have a work-around, or is Microsoft going to update the” package for CD option”, and make it a “package for DVD” option?

Thanks,
